    I really think that having things organised in the folders, and keeping that going is a real plus point - half my stresses in life come from the disorganisation that surrounds me....I would love an efficient filing system at home.....I can manage it at work, why not at home!!!

    good news on the b!ngo too :j £31 is a good amount.

    Hiya guys,
    Thank you all for popping on to my diary.

    Tony good luck in court babe, x

    Ok so what's happened today?

    I went out with my mum and gran to our local social club, don't think the bar staff liked it when I asked for a pint of water but oh well. Did the sunday quiz but I didn't win, it was only for lager though and I can't drink it so I'm not too upset. Also spent £5 on bingo tickets which covered me for all 6 games of bingo. I won as well yayyyyyyy I won £93 but I shared with my mum and gran so that was £31 each which isn't bad for a £5 outlay. I'm not a big gambler though, I play the free bingo and the itv bingo night live thing which is also free and do racecaller through pigsback but thats where I draw the line.

    I know I have already sold most of my stuff that I have but thought I might look through the cupboards again and see if there is one or two odd items I can ebay, I have loads of books but I don't know if it worth while trying to sell them as postage is a bit tricky.

    Gonna do a few printouts tonight so that I can keep a check on my spending and incoming etc as I am being very organised and have an A4 Folder which I have put into sections, CCCS documents, bank statements, DCA letters, etc so that when I need something I know where it is.

    :beer:

    Hi Ikkle....sounds as though you are definitely 'on the up'. Fantastic start.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    'ello everybody, how are you all today??

    I have posted off my CCA request to Welcome Finance today, longest 14 days of my life now lol.

    Have also now got enough iPoints for a bread maker, which is great. Anyone who knows me from the July support thread knows that my bread could be used to sink boats lol.

    Think thats it for now

    Hello Ikkle and welcome

    I am a survey and challenge fanatic. All my challenge money goes towards my living expenses - and I really must take my own advice and transfer my credit card debts to my 0% card (I don't spend on it).

    I live for the freebies forum too as I have had quite a few nice things from there from calendars to pedometers.

    Keep up the good work...am dashing off now as I have a date with Mary Queen of Shops:D

    Hello Horace,
    Nice of you to pop in hun. You really should do the bt thing hun I dont have any credit cards but have got both my gran and grandad to apply for 0% bt cards and they both went through cashback kings too.

    I have had some brilliant freebies, the moving house box was great. All i need now is a competition win, even if it is something small just to get me started. I don't know how some people have managed the £2008 for 2008 challenge I haven't won anything.
